On Tuesday 30th April, Owls headed to London for a fantastic trip to the National Portrait Gallery! We caught the train from Uckfield Station at 9:33 and arrived at London Bridge around 11 o’clock. From there, we walked to the London Bridge Pier, spotting amazing sights like the Shard on our way. The Uber Boat then took us along the River Thames towards Embankment; we saw Big Ben, Parliament, the Walkie Talkie and plenty more London landmarks en route.
Once we’d disembarked the boat, we took the short walk through Trafalgar Square to the National Portrait Gallery, where we enjoyed our lunch. After lunch, we attended a workshop all about portraits of significant black figures, which tied in with our last history unit.
